Micro-GPS sensors in football boots?

The bloke on the VAR isn't going to officiate at any bin dipper games again, this season. So now the victims are getting to choose who refs them. It stinks.

Micro-GPS sensors in football boots? Lots of things like that, that appear to be daft, but if this gets any more scrutiny (because of the money involved), they might have to go all James Bond on this stuff. But let's not forget that this is supposed to be a sporting competition. The PL has been sucking sportsmanship out of the game for years, things like this prove that the clubs and players aren't interested in sporting principles as they used to be, the law of averages evening things out etc., they just act with impudence that they've been wronged and conveniently forget the other times things have gone in their favour. As poor as that decision was the other day, there are plenty of others that have been questionable at the very least. I was happy with the principle of VAR because it was supposed to even things up & cut out clear and obvious errors, but all the PL do is use it to build their brand. PGMOL are in cahoots because it suits them. It's a closed shop of vested interests, and on the rare occasion one of the gang gets a bad decision, all hell breaks loose. They should let a bunch of toddlers run VAR, they'd do just as good a job...

Used to hate VAR and wanted it scrapping until a few days ago but seeing the impact it's had on Klopp and his band of victims and hypocrites seems to have swung me back round.

VAR controversies have made us increasingly focused on the 'big decisions'. What I saw from town in the Premier League is the constant small decisions grind you down over a game. When you're playing a team that, when under pressure, just need to fall to their knees for a free kick. It's death by a thousand cuts, and never gets the focus it deserves.
I'm not saying VAR for everything, but officiating in general over the course of a game needs more scrutiny, not just big decisions that get (nauseatingly) discussed at halftime.

VAR correctly ruled out - very marginally, but still correctly, ruled out a Luis Palma goal for Celtic v Lazio in The Champions League at Parkhead last night...
It also again very marginally, but correctly marginally allowed Lazio’s winning header to count -
These ascertations came from passionate Celtic supporters that I was talking to in town today so I’m assuming it’s true...
They clearly get it right in Europe when they want although I’m sure someone will have a grievence somewhere no doubt -
Never mind though it’ll be back to the incompetence and corruption of it in Scottish Football in 40 hours time ! 😉

Not when it's Liverpool it doesnt. They are always the victims. VAR has been an experiment thats failed. There'll be stats that it gets more decisions right, but it still gets enough wrong that the controversy is endless and is now magnified because its so inexplicable. More than anything its failed the fans at the games, who havent a clue whats going on and now cant really celebrate a goal because they know theres every chance VAR will rule it out for some minor infringement. The PL isnt obliged to have VAR so should stand alone and ditch it. Maybe others would follow but if they dont they dont. Our game would just be better for binning it. When people like Southgate are suggesting that, it might even become a reality.

The easiest and most conclusive outcome would be to ditch the offside rule altogether.

Maybe they could also ditch an hand ball to the opposition inside the penalty area, does it really matter if the ball hits an opponents arse, balls, legs, head, shoulder, arm.

Sounds like shout from fans of a football club that used to play in The South-East of Glasgow saying... Clyde Winhard... or another anology... Clyde Whingehard ! 😬
